An apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium for communicating with multiple subscriptions and dynamic spectrum sharing in a multi-subscriber identity module device are configured to scan for one or more first services corresponding to a first subscription and camp on a first service of the one or more first services corresponding to the first subscription on a first frequency band. The aspects are further configured to determine whether the first frequency band supports Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) and camp on a second service corresponding to a second subscription on the first frequency band in response to determining that the first frequency band supports the DSS. The aspects are further configured to scan for one or more second services corresponding to a second subscription in response to determining that the first frequency band does not support the DSS and camp on one of the one or more second services.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first service corresponding to the first subscription is New Radio (NR).
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is Long Term Evolution (LTE).
4. The method of claim 2, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is New Radio (NR).
7. The method of claim 5, wherein the switching of the first service corresponding to the first subscription is based on a reconfiguration message received from a base station.
9. The method of claim 5, wherein the first service corresponding to the first subscription is New Radio (NR).
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is Long Term Evolution (LTE).
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is New Radio (NR).
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the scanning for first service corresponding to the first subscription comprises scanning for the first service according to a priority list of frequency bands.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein the priority list of frequency bands includes a first set of frequency bands supporting the DSS at a higher priority than a second set of frequency bands not supporting the DSS.
15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first service corresponding to the first subscription is New Radio (NR).
16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is Long Term Evolution (LTE).
17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is New Radio (NR).
20. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the switch of the first service corresponding to the first subscription is based on a reconfiguration message received from a base station.
22. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the first service corresponding to the first subscription is New Radio (NR).
23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is Long Term Evolution (LTE).
24. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the second service corresponding to the second subscription is New Radio (NR).
25. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the scan for first service corresponding to the first subscription comprises the processor configured to scan for the first service according to a priority list of frequency bands.
26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the priority list of frequency bands includes a first set of frequency bands supporting the DSS at a higher priority than a second set of frequency bands not supporting the DSS.
